The subnivean climate is formed by three different types of snow metamorphosis: destructive metamorphosis, which begins when snow falls; constructive metamorphosis, the movement of water vapor to the surface of the snowpack; and melt metamorphosis, the melting/sublimation of snow to water vapor and its refreezing in the snowpack. These three types of metamorphosis transform individual snowflakes into ice crystals and create spaces under the snow where small animals can move. Subnivean computing refers to the design and testing of electronic systems used to study these environments and the animals that live in them. This could involve camera, sensors, microcontrollers, and custom circuits. Listening to this album might be how it feels to engage in Subnivean Computing! Enjoy.
